THE DREADNOUGHT OFFER.
LABOUR OPPOSITION. The Dunedin Painters’ Union passed the following resolution : “That this union emphatically protests against the unwarranted action of Sir Joseph Ward and his Cabinet in offering a Dreadnought, as the country is retarded by want of funds to carry on the work of the Dominion, as proved by the dearth of employment here,” The Canterbury Trades and Labour Council resolved :—‘‘That this council expresses its unqualified condemnation of the unconstitutional action of Sir Joseph Ward and the Cabinet in daring to dispose of public money by the presentation of battleships to Great Britain without the authority of Parliament or the people ; that we further endorse the action of Mr T. E. Taylor, M.P., in placing the true facts of the position before the British Prime Minister.”
